A few weeks ago we started the new year finding out that Gao Zhisheng was located in a prison in China and we let you know that his brother tried to visit him, but was denied access.

A few days ago we shared with you the news that Gao had been located in a prison in China. We are thankful for your prayers and concern for Gao and his family and would like to ask for your prayers for him and his family on a daily basis. Please read a letter from Gao's wife here, in case you missed it when we posted it earlier.

I saw this important post over on the China Aid blog a few days ago, but due to the holidays didn’t have a chance to share it with you until today. As you know, if you’ve read this blog for any length of time, we’ve asked for your prayers for Gao Zhisheng and invited you to sign our petition at http://www.freegao.com. Thank you to all of you who have supported Gao through your prayers and support this past year. As you read the letter that Gao’s wife has written, please pray for her strength as well as for all of Gao’s family.
